The Tennessean has reported the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers today announced that the leaky Wolf Creek Dam in Kentucky is seeping less than it had been. The article also said: "The leaky dam upriver of Middle Tennessee in Kentucky is still a 'high risk' dam and emergency work continues to pour a concrete-like material into the structure to shore it up."
A failure at the dam likely would cause flooding downstream along the Cumberland River. Previous coverage of the dam, including a map of potential flood areas in Charlotte Park, can be seen here.
